TX - NR5000E
RS232 PORT
The TX-NR5000E is ready to grow with you. Let's face it,
this receiver is an investment and you wouldn't want it
to become obsolete anytime soon. The bi-directional
RS232 port and software upgradable capability of this
receiver means that you're ready for those decoding
enhancements that are sure to come. But the RS232
isn't just for upgrading, it also provides an even more
powerful controller option–seamlessly interfacing with
touchscreen controllers from industry leaders such as
AMX and Crestron. The control possibilities throughout
the house are endless.
ETHERNET CABLE PLUG-IN CAPABILITY
Making ONKYO's lineup of receivers network-ready this
Ethernet port located on the back of the TX-NR5000E
allows you to bring a world of music into your home. Enjoy
unprecedented access to radio stations throughout the
world through ONKYO's exclusive Net-Tune protocol in
conjunction with a broadband modem hooked up to a
router in turn connected to your receiver. Even if you
haven't made the upgrade to broadband, Net-Tune Central,
[your media distribution software] turns your computer
into a hard disc server. Your computer's music files–MP3,
WAV and WMA–are streamed through Ethernet so you
can experience your music not on the underperforming
speakers in your computer but on your home cinema
speakers via the TX-NR5000E.
COMPOSITE AND S-VIDEO UPCONVERSION
TO COMPONENT VIDEO
Convenience is assured thanks to the ability to run just
one cable from your receiver to your high-definition
display TV with the upconversion of composite and S-Video
signals to component video. Let's be realistic, while the
TX-NR5000E is one of the most advanced components on
components around the house. Hook-up your video player,
CD player, LD player–all your S-Video or composite video
out components–to the back of this receiver and each
signal will flow to your compatible TV or projector via one
component cable.

MULTI - ZONE OPERATION
Enjoy a surround sound movie in one room, while someone
else listens to stereo music in another. All without the need
still not enough for you, add an external amplifier for a third
zone you can control from the TX-NR5000E.
MORE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS THAN
YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH
Take a look at the rear panel and you'll soon realize this is
no ordinary receiver. In addition to 7.1 multi-channel inputs
for analogue DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, you get thir-
teen digital inputs, 12 of which are assignable, for connect-
ing a digital TV, including a digital set-top box broadcast
satellite (DBS) and other digital based sources, say a DVD,
CD and/or LD player, a digital VCR... the list goes on.
Four digital outputs allows you to make direct digital dubs
to digital devices like a DVD recorder, CD-RW, MiniDisc
and DAT decks. If you really want to shake the room, con-
nect two subwoofers. And don't worry, we didn't forget
the newest additions. Two high-quality audio & video HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) inputs and one
output are matched with a pair of i.LINK digital inputs. An
Ethernet port for Net-Tune finishes off the connectivity
roll-call newcomers. Finally–and this is highly unlikely–in
the event you need even more power, there are pre-out
jacks for each channel to plug in external amplifiers.
4 COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS
AND 2 OUTPUTS
the face of the
earth, you're still
likely to have DVD looks wonderful through composite
some composite or S-Video connections. But to video-
or S-Video only philes, only component video will do.
These component video inputs and out-
puts–not to worry, there's enough to go
around–can carry HDTV signals in ana-
logue component format, and handle
progressive-scan DVD with ease.
